I no longer have to worry that my pictures of cauteries are out of focus

Wow, that was quick! We reached the £200 target on JustGiving before the discomfort in my ankles and the numbness in the side of my left little finger went away, and indeed less than 24 hours after I crossed the finish line!

Many thanks also to the people who have contacted me to say that they are donating to the charity directly rather than going through JustGiving.

You'll see on the JustGiving site that I've put in the promised matching donation.

If you did want to see the medical instruments, the relevant section of the museum's well-photographed and detailed catalogue is here (moderately large PDF file). What were on display at the museum were modern reconstructions of devices mentioned in Albucasis's great text from the turn of the 11th century.

Link broken! At least for me. For whom the point is significantly more moot than most, granted. :)

That's odd; both links work for me (I've tried Firefox on Linux and Safari on Mac). Does www.ibttm.org work for you at all?

Now that you mention it, no: "No data received." Similar result on Firefox. I am perfectly ready to blame Comcast, my ISP, though. (checks) Aha! Resolves on my phone's data connection, but not over my wi-fi. Some misconfiguration somewhere, then; never mind.
